Every journey is more fun when you're together. Grab your friends and hit the road in style in the Chevy Trax.
Once we grow out of the age of mandatory education, finding the motivation to learn something new can seem a bit arduous. What if it was fun and had a low-level commitment? Beginning this Wednesday, frame in Hazel Park will be offering one-night classes/workshops to curious cats across metro Detroit. Topics range from botanical in nature to savory in taste.
“Joe and I built frame as a creative hub, to create experience,” said frame co-founder Cari Vaughn. “And, to us, experience is learning, seeing, tasting and exploring something new.”

Plus, take a few dumplings home with you to enjoy later! “We love the topics of these five classes due to their tactile opportunities and that each student takes home a beautiful object they have created, in which to surround themselves,” said Vaughn. “We curated frame’s spring classes as a way for guests to explore interests, hone their skills, master a new art craft, meet new friends and drink cocktails.” Vaughn said this is only the beginning of something frame plans to continue into the summer months.
